Welcome to Our Discussion Group Community

Topic highlight


The discussion group

We are happy to introduce an internet community where we can share our thoughts and experiences regarding destructive groups. We have set up a discussion group mailing list called FreedomofMind (click here for list). There you can either sign up and participate in the discussions, or just browse through the archives. This is a good opportunity to obtain support in your healing process, acquire knowledge about the many destructive groups out there, and to network and help one another in our fight against totalitarian regimes.

The discussion group is moderated by Cathleen Mann, licensed professional counselor. Cathleen has a Ph.D. in Psychology and is a licensed clinician in the Lakewood (Denver), Colorado area. Please click here to see a letter of support from Dr. Mann in regard to my letter, Refuting the Disinformation Attacks Put Forth by Destructive Cults and their Agents.

Please review the following disclaimer and policies carefully. If you agree to abide by these, please respond to the email you will receive when you join the list with "I ACCEPT" in the subject box. We will then add you to the discussion group. It's that easy!

Standard disclaimer

The moderators do not necessarily endorse the contents of discussions, nor do they assume responsibility for any threatening, libelous, or offensive material contained in the discussion. The moderators will utilize due diligence to monitor the site for content of this type, and will take necessary action to suspend the offender from the discussion group per the policies of participation in these discussions. Any infringement of third party intellectual property rights are also against the policies of this discussion group. The offender will be suspended from the discussion if proper permission was not granted in advance to post copyrighted or other intellectual material from another source; however, the moderators assume no responsibility for copyright infringement which occurs without their knowledge.

The information contained in discussions are for educational use only. Participants in the discussions should not expect the moderators to perform counseling services of any kind. Should a referral for counseling services be needed or desired, the person requesting it should make a specific request to one or both of the moderators in a private email, and we will attempt to assist you if we can.

Even though this will be a moderated forum, some of the material may be controversial or offensive. Any participant, editor, author, or other interested party who objects to their name being used in the context of discussion should contact the moderators immediately for consideration and review

General policies

Subscription and participation in the discussion groups are open to anyone. However, all initial subscriptions are subject to moderator approval. All subscribers must agree to abide by the policies presented by the moderators.

How are the discussions and postings moderated? The moderators will regularly monitor postings and discussions. A subscriber who fails to abide by the rules of the discussion group may be suspended for a short time. If repeated infractions occur, the moderators may suspend the subscriber for a longer period of time. Appeal to the moderators is encouraged if desired, and the moderators will review each appeal individually and on its own merits.

Posting policies & rules

Please do not post hoaxes or virus warnings. Posts lacking in basic courtesy and respect for the opinions of others are discouraged. The moderators will not attempt to be censors or anti-free speech advocates, and will enforce the courtesy rule sparingly.

Please do not use vulgar or obscene language in your posts. Posts should refrain from using ad hominem attacks; however, legitimate questions as to a participant's credibility are fair game.

Posts which contain threats toward yourself or others will be handled seriously. If we suspect a covert threat is being made, we will give the subscriber the benefit of the doubt, and will always ask for clarification. If overt threats are made, we reserve the right to report those threats to the proper authorities.

Please do not post lengthy discourses where it is obvious that you are prosetilizing one religion and/or one belief system over the other.

Using emails on this discussion group list for the purposes of monitoring individuals and/or sending spam are against our policies. Before initiating private, off-the-discussion-group email, please ask permission first on the open discussion.

Please consider the fact that the discussion may turn heated and lively at times. Please respect the feelings and opinions of others.

Freedomofmind.com fully supports religious freedom and the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The fact that a person’s name or group appears on our website does not necessarily mean they are a destructive mind control cult. They appear because we have received inquiries and have established a file on the group.
The Freedom of Mind Resource Center Inc. was established by cult expert Steve Hassan.
